This recipe came out perfect! I will definitely use again and again. Especially, since my husband LOVES stuffed shells! I had been trying to find a good recipe for him and I found it here.

Used manicotti since the grocer was out of shells plus fresh parsley and basil--several tablespoons of each, you simply can't overdo it--and a tomato meat sauce from the 'World's Best Lasagna' recipe. Satisfaction guaranteed.

I made this for my Husband and I and we loved it! The only thing that I have done different was I added a pound of ground turkey. I took the ground turkey and while it was raw I seasoned it with garlic, onion, and Italian seasonings and then cooked it on the stove (just like I would hamburger) while my shells where cooking after my turkey was done I set it aside to cool and mixed my cheese mix together I added the same spices to it as I did the turkey I than added the cooked turkey to the cheese mix and stirred it well than stuffed it in the shells. My husband and I loved it!!

Pretty good, and not TOO hard. I added a little bit of italian sausage to the cheese mixture and topped with plenty of sauce. Loved it!

This was very good. I followed the recipe to a T and really enjoyed it. My picky husband enjoyed it as well! The filling was just right and the whole thing was easy to make. I like the idea of using a plastic baggie with the corner cut out to fill. UPDATE - since there are just two of us, I froze about half of the shells. We have made them twice - once thawing first, once without - and they turned out great!

Okay, okay - I made this with homemade ricotta (using sunflower17's Homemade Fresh Cheese recipe from allrecipes.com) and with homemade tomato sauce - BUT - the rest of the seasonings, cook time, etc. worked wonderfully - this was my first go-around with stuffed shells, and I just stuffed them with my hands. Cook the shells VERY al dente (my package said to cook for 14-15 minutes, and I cooked for 7) and you won't have any problems stuffing them at all. A great recipe - I think it would have been great with jarred sauce, too, but just felt like going the homemade route this time. Thanks!

Very good recipe. I added cooked ground beef and 1 box frozen spinach. It was my first time stuffing shells and I had no problem filling shells with a spoon.

YUM! 5 stars for inspiration! I used half ricotta & half cottage cheese, one egg instead of two & fresh garlic. I added ground beef to half of the sauce since dh likes meat. Leftovers were so good & I'm sad it's all gone. I'll be making this one often!

Really good!! Followed others advice and used a ziploc to manage the filling. Takes some extra time, but it tastes wonderful!

I don't cook very often but I made this recipe for my boyfriend who is very picky eater and we both loved it! It wasn't very difficult and baked well. I used part-skim ricotta instead of cottage cheese, added a bit more garlic powder, and topped it with mozzarella as well as parmesan. I baked it for 20 minutes covered, and 20 minutes uncovered. I used two jars of Newman's Own Tomato Basil sauce to which I added ground turkey and Italian Seasoning. This recipe made about two trays of shells, so I'll probably halve it next time. Great recipe though, I will definitely keep experimenting with it!

Good recipe! I don't care for ricotta cheese, so this was a good recipe for an alternative. I also added 1 lb. of hamburger to sauce.

Darn good! Good for kids who "don't like ricotta". I made it for a pregnant friend who had a kid who "didn't like ricotta" but ate this all. Great for vegetarians and husbands. I don't make any changes. This is in the meals-we-eat-regularly rotation.

I love these shells. The filling is just right. Hubby gave it a 4 because he prefers ricotta, but I love cottage cheese. Side note: the filling was sufficient for half the shells. Maybe I over-filled?

Awesome! I asked my husband(the official taste tester) what he thought I should rate this recipe. I automatically thought 5 stars after tasting it but he said 25 stars!!! Lol. We both loved it. I halved the recipe because there are only the two of us and there is still enough leftover for lunch tomorrow even after stuffing ourselves... I only measured the cottage cheese though. I just eyed everything else to a good looking consistency. I also topped with extra mozz cheese and let it get slightly browned and bubbly in the oven. Delish! I am going to make this for a bible study potluck on Friday too and will update everyone elses thoughts on the dish later...
